Sanford, at Newark; ji. J., in a..<nvil anil One
man sued another for the paymentfor the board
of his wife fur sixteen months at six dollars a
month. The defendant set op that that be bad
advertised his wife, and giveu public notioe that
he would pay no debts of her contracting. The
justice decided that while this might serve as a
warning, it was no legal way of getting clear of
lhawife’s liabilities—-that the husband, in' the
eyes of the law, was liable for the wife’s debts,
so long as rite continued snob. Judgment *war

not disposed ip question the legality of the

men tinned in the last sentence of the ex
tract quoted, but we think there are cases
in which it would not be just. We re
member a case which occurred in this,
place hot long since, in which such a de- s
cision would, we believe, be entirely
wrong. A woman who had nothing but
tyro children, formed a matrimonial alii,
ance with a man who possessed a little
property in his own name, which, we feel
sure, could have been the only charm he
possessed. After living with him some two
Weeks, she deserted bis bed and board,-but
continued to make purchases for herself
and . children on his account. It would
seem that she had njarried him lor the sin
gle purpose'of making him responsible for
her debts, and that she did not intend to
live with hitn. He complained of her
leaving his bed-jjwt ai a time when a bed-
was most needed,..and very natural
ly refused to pay bills of her contracting,
unless she Would return to him.. As has
been the custom heretofore, he advertised
her, and we believe that, were he to be
sued for debts of her contracting since the
date of the publication of the caution to
the public, and a decision as above to he
given,it would be unjust, although it might
be legal. We believe women marry men,
as often as men advertise their wives, from
bad motives] and that a decision which
would be right in one case would be wrong
in another $ consequently the decision
aboye should not bo considered unsettling
the question of a husband's liability for
! his wife’s debts.

Habbisbubo, Jan. 31, 1860.
A long array if petitions rolled in again to
day, on divers subjects—many of which the au
gust committees will never do the honor of open
ing, especially those asking for the abolition-of
the office,of County Superintendent, and Ujose
asking for the passage pf an unconstitutional
“personal liberty” bill.
I-have heard of a scheme on foot for the for
mation of A new county.out of parta of C/iqpbria,
Clearfield, Huntingdon, Centre, and Biair,-to be
called Logan, and Tyrone City tg be the county
seat. The .whole thing looks exceedingly nice
mapped but to suit those who are pecuniarily
interested, andthere is no doubt but the town
ships proposed-" to lie taken for this purpose
wottldibm avery j beat little couuty—but, will
the counties thus. to be curtailed of their fair
proportions, submit to without a kick, at
least ? Blair'Won’t I know, for it is conceded
thet this (munty rn already small enough. But
where is the use of talking?—they could not
carve out a hew county that would meet the re
quisition of the late amendment to the Consti
tution. .
To-day the Committee on Vice and Immorality
reported a bill entitled an “An Act to prevent
recovery for the sale of adulterated liquors.”—
This is a wholesome law. A .case was in
L|ncaster last fall, in which a fiquor dealer tried
ttT recoverby law for a. number of barrels of
VOIJ Eye.” . The: defendant proved the “old
rye” to have been nothing jbut strychnine torn
juice, and so the plaintiff failed to get a verdict
This .action was tried ftt common lajr- What is
: noW“ proposed is a special law to meet the case
at .opoq, and will.be a good ope—providing it
will not, Hke only too many others, be a dead
letter upon pur .statute hooks. ' <

The Board of-Revenue Commissioners meet
here bn Thursday next, and some of thent : h#e l
already arrived. Their session will last some
four weeks. during which time they will fix thb I
bounty rates and levies of each county in the !
Commonwealth. It is confidently expected that'
the State tax will be reduced to two mills' TbV
flourishing condition of the finances of the State
it is believed, will justify such a redaction.
To-day an act* passed the Senate relative to
challenging jurors, (on second reading) in civil
cases. Its provisions allow both plaintiffs and
defendants four peremptory challenges.
There has been very little worthy of note

Wrestling with an Elephant. 5
A rather curious scene occurred in Philadel
phia, on Monday during tbe perfor
mance iu tbe menage tie. A young man, who
bad for some time, been carefully observing tbe
monster elephant, determined, like a fighting
gladiator of old, to try the strength of tbe huge
bulk ot flesh with his own. There is at the end
of the elephant’s tusks, which are of largo sire,
an iron rod, binding one tusk to tbe other Our
hero seized hold of this, and leaned his whole
weight upon it. The elephant not altogether
liking this sort of treatment, determined fur b i
part to punish bis antagonist. He raised bis
great head aloft, and the young fellow w*B
swung from the groun 1 until he almost touched
the canvass covering, and was no doubt much
higher than bis most wjld ambition ever carried
him. The animal repeated this, and a second
time he descended to the ground, when the ele
phant, perhaps thinking it best to temperjus
tice with mercy, wrapped bis trunk round the
hapless and now thoroughly bumbled youth,
ami very unceremoniously laid him in the mud
that overspread the floor. The wrestle was en
ded, the elephant coming off the victor, while
his combatant picked himself up. and, amidst
the hearty laughter of the spectators, vanished.
Heard From. —Adam Kemerer, the default
ing and absconding Millville' Constable, return
ed to, the home of bis father, in, Westmoreland
county, some week or two ago. Soon after his
return, he wiute x to his wife at this place, re
questing lier to come to him, and telling her
tlmt he was the victim of misplaced confidence.
Ills story is, that while on his way to Blair
county to execute a warrant, ho fell in with
severa! Englishmen, who induced him to accom
pany them to Canada. Alter his arrival there,
his new friends further induced him to try bis
band nt a little gauie of cards. Being but a
novice in the tricks of the game, his companions
always managed to hold the best bauds, and fi
nally •• sewed him up.’’ lu short, they cheated
him out of all his money, not leaving him
enough to come home with. Ho also says be
wrote to his wife from Canada, informing her
of his whereabouts nud misfortune, but so fur as
we cun leuru no such letter was ever received
by her. This, however, is his story, and we
give him the benefit of it without comment.—
Our readers, who are ncq-iinted witn the cir
cumstances of his disappearance, can form their
own opinion as to its probability. His wife has
complied with his request, and is now with him
in Westmoreland county. —Johnstown Tribune.
A Respectable Scoundrel. A clerk, or
salesman, in the large mercantile establishment
of Wood, Murrell & Co., Johnstown, named
Stephen G. Evans, was detected und arrested,
s nue two weeks ago, while on a wedding tour
in Philadelphia, for robbing the Company of u
considerable sum of money. It is not known to
what extent he carried his thefts, as he was a
very fast young man, but the amount of nl ie
teen hundred dollars was traced to him—thir
teen hundred of which he was forced to dis
gorge, and his note taken for the balance, when
he was permitted to depart. ‘-SteVe,” snys
the Echo , “ played the respectable so well, and
assumed so many winning ways, as to enable
him to captivate and marry one of the gayest of
our gay boiles—the daughter of one of our most
worthy and respectable citizens. The gay young
buck was too respectably connected, nud tiie
amount stolen was too large, to justify a prose
cution. it is only when a wretched, destitute
urchin purloins a small sum, or when some poor
man or woman steals n hum fur a famished
family, that a prosecution and punisbmenpis
deemed necessary."
Mr. D. W. Roy, editor of the Vicksburg
Shn, was shot deat|, last week, by Daniel ,S.
Shepherd. The latter was employed as book
keeper in the Sun office. Mr. Roy held the of
fice of collector of the port at Vicksburg, and
entrusted all his business to Shepherd. While
Shephard was on his bridal tour, a few weeks
since, Mr Key caused him to be arrested, in
New Om-nns. on a charge of'embezzlement.—
Shepherd was released on a writ of habeas cor
pus. and, immediately proceeding to Vicksburg,
demanded an investigutiou. He was examined
and acquitted.
Health Rules.— The celebrated Abemelhy’s
rules for the preservation of health were simply
tlie following ; "Keep the feet warm. the head cool
and the bowels 'hpen,” The Indians understand
fully the necessity of protecting the feet; and
although ninny tribes dressed so scantily as to
appear almost naked, yet their feet Were guard
ed by well used mocassins. And when they re
pose in their wigwams they always lie down with
their feet towards the fire. When travelling and
obliged to encamp in the open air, they dig a
hole in the ground, *sn which they build a fire,
and then lie down in a circle, and each one ban "a
his feet and aud ankles in the hole.
'Fast Tbavelliks.— On Tuesday evening, the 1
24 th uU., says the Brpokville Jeffersonian, a
number of invitation cards were received by the 1
printers of this piece, to attend a banquet andM
bail in Pittsburg, oifthe 17th of January, the I
birth-day of Benjamin Franklin. As a matter j
of course no one attended, as the invitations I
were received seven day* after the ball took i
place. Thews letters each bear the postmark at'
Pittsburgh, January 10, and were only fourteen]
days in coming ninety miles. This is; the way
business is done between Pittsburgh and this? 1
county. Passengers come through in’2s bourju
whilst the mail is nearly as days.’

We do not think a person can evince a more benevolent
trait'of character than being moved et the distress and • of
fering of other*, and furthermore, auxioua to do ell in their
power to alleviate by every possible means human suffer
ing. In this view of the case, we do not know how the
humand and benevolent can do an action more in accor
dance with their philanthropise views, than by calling the
attention of their afflicted friends and acquaintances to the
fact, that Dr. Situ S. Hanoi, of 103 Baltimore street. Bal
timore, M. D. has discovered a preparation, which is pat up
in the form of a pill, that hoe a specific action for caring
Epilepsy, or falling fits, spasms, cramps, and all forms of
nervous diseases. Among those who have been perma
nently cured, we might mention a member of the family of
James H. Beadle, Huntsville, Alabama; Mr. M. P. Sledge,
Cabin Point, Surry county, Va.. and Mr. W. P. Ligou,
Grenada, Mississippi.. We might go on enumerating a
number of others, until we had entirely filled up this col
umn of our paper; but we think wa have\*aW sufficient to
satisfy every person that the subject under consideration
is one of vital importance to every one. Reader 1 if yon
are a well man or woman, and have no need of a remedy,
perhaps you know tome person who is not equally blessed
as yourself, if so, cut out this notice, and scud it to him or
her. It will cost you but little trouble, and probably it
will make you instrumental in caring some pear, ef&icted
mortal of that dreadful visitation, Epilepsy, or foiling
sickness.
Dr. Uance scuds hit pills by mail, free of postage, to all
parts Of the world, on the iVcsipt of a remittance. Hit
prices are : one b-i, $3; two, $5 ; twelve, $24. We have
given his address above.

..W'ltisa common observation that thera sura more

Cnmd among any other civilized nation. The reason is
obvious. Wa taka too Uttloexercise, add forget tbo wants
of the body in the absorbing pursuits of business. In all

i» required is juit such a tonic and inslgorator as Dr. 3
